      <content:encoded><![CDATA[@Dylan - I had a great time too. The analogy of the pundits and innovators rings very true for me. Hopefully we'll get to a place where more and more of us can work together. There is an amazing amount to be done, especially as we consider all of the new ways consumers can interact with companies and organizations.

Who knows what tomorrow brings, but as Alan Kay said "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I had a great time talking to you about this transition last week.  Since, I've been thinking about what separates innovators from pundits.  
        
For me, pundits sit on the shore imaging what lays on the other side.  They announce their imaginings to the world, and for most, those imaginings become the definition of what will be found beyond.  The innovators listen to the pundits, until they realize the pundits' stories are no longer reconcilable.  Rather than telling a new story, they have the courage to sail beyond the horizon.
        
So far there's not much out here but an endless blue ocean.  Still, I'm glad to see your sails in the distance.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[@J Cornelius - Thank you sir, I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

@Martin - Glad you're along for the ride. Hopefully you can through in some pearls of wisdom along the way.

@Bruce - It's gonna be a fun ride.

@Anton - I just wrote that down. I'll keep it by my screen as we're going through the transition. I'll probably highlight *tenacity*. It's gonna take a lot of that.

@Stefan - Glad you're on board. We're big Electric Pulp fans.

@Geof - Our focus is still online all the way. If there are some offline channels we can use to drive people online we'll definitely consider them. Ultimately there's what works and what doesn't for that specific project.

@Blaine - Hey Blaine. We don't see it as recommending people to more talented competitors as much as working with people we know who are more talented in certain areas our clients need. We'll still be doing everything we currently do and more than likely add some skill sets. Clients will definitely know who they're working with, we would never hide that. The biggest thing is getting smarter about the big picture. Sorry if we've seemed egotistical. Regarding Travis and Varick those guys did what was right for them and they're both doing really well. We miss them.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I knew that things were going to change again at nGen when you got rid of the old crew.  Are you really planning on recommending your clients to more talented competitors when it is in their best interest?  

This is really going to conflict with nGen's pretentious ego but it will be better for clients.  In the name of tranparency be sure to let us know what your referral income will be for each client.  1-800-ASK-CARL for brand management.  ;)]]></content:encoded>
